i have been here so many times and cant believe how bad this experience was! had some friends from out of town and wanted to take them to a nice restaurant...i made a reservation, when we got there, they did have a table ready for us...told us to pick a "spot!" wasnt a table for the four of us so had to put something together. then we sat for our 20 min to get a drink...the rest of the night had to beg to get service...either chasing down our server or a manager1 been coming here for years and this was embarrassing and frustrating!! the WORST service EVER!!!

Had the tortelli with pork belly. Good but not memorable. Wife had scallops with same impression. Service was superior. Very professional with good suggestions.

Not really worth all the hype. Honestly, light fixtures needed dusting, our water glasses had big fingerprints on both of them, so did not start off well. Our server was nice and attentive. Food was not as good as expected, definitely not as tasty or memorable as other places in town. I might give it another chance considering the Seize the Deal offer, but it's not high on my list of places to go out to eat in the LA.

Regular spaghetti was substituted for capellini without notice. We were charged for full 9 oz pours of our wine and we're fairly certain we actually received only 6 oz pours. Food flavor was good. Server was helpful, but missed his opportunity to impress by communicating with us on the items above.

Beautiful ambience. A little noisy, not too bad. The food can be slightly salty, just specify to waiter. The pasta is Al dente, so specify to waiter if you prefer not to have it cooked that way. The manager, Finn, is fantastic!

We have tried to enjoy this restaurant. The food is good, the service is the issue. The service is slow, disorganized, and is not up to par with the type of restaurant they want to be. Simple example- our last dining experience, this past Friday night. Our meals were delivered, we had no flatware, despite repeatedly asking for some. When the food runner placed our food, we asked for flatware again, he said he would tell our server, mind you, our food was sitting in front of us getting cold. I finally got up, went to the server station and got flatware myself for our party of 6. Dirty dishes remained on the table from our first course, as the desert arrived. Just don’t think I’m going back!

Dear Monique, Customer satisfaction is our highest priority, so I regret that we weren't able to deliver a more positive dining experience. I apologize for any lapses in service you experienced.

Visited a few times now. Food is fair. Service is ok. Falls short of an elevated dinning experience.
